Five years ago today, Colonel Gaddafi was killed by a mob, as Libya threw off his decades-long rule and entered a chaotic period of revolution. Since then, questions of authority and ownership of state assets have only become more complex. One item which symbolises the problem is the former leader's private plane - which has somehow ended up grounded on the tarmac of a French airstrip. Chris Bockman traces the legal battles which have left this expensive white elephant immobile - and in dispute.
